How it works
A simple, secure way to buy and sell items with confidence
from listing to delivery at the buyer's door.
Secure Payments
Payments are held securely until the item is received and confirmed.
Nationwide Delivery
Items are delivered straight to the buyer's door, anywhere in South Africa.
Buyer Protection
The item is confirmed on delivery, and the seller only gets paid once both sides are satisfied.
The Process
Seller lists an item
The seller adds their item with photos, a clear description, and a price so buyers know exactly what they're getting.
Buyer purchases the item
A buyer finds the item they want on Thesouthmart and completes the purchase securely through our platform.
We hold the payment securely
The payment is safely held by Thesouthmart and only released once the buyer receives the item and confirms they are happy with it — protecting both buyer and seller.
Seller ships the item
The seller drops the item off at a locker. It is then delivered directly to the buyer's door — no meetups needed.
Buyer receives and confirms
The buyer receives the item at their door. Once they confirm they are happy with the item, the transaction moves forward.
Seller gets paid
The payment is released to the seller, completing the transaction safely and fairly for everyone.
